"Second master, the two rivers Xuanfu have been here for a while, do you want to change the plan!" Seeing Xi enter the big tent and whispered, today was originally planned to open the Zhujie Conference, and then sacrifice the army, ready to start, it can be seen that Xi found that when he heard Li Gang and others coming, the prince suddenly fell into contemplation, and his face was confused.

"Oh, what are they doing now?" Zhao Ta looked up and asked.

"Second master, they visited our camp accompanied by Zhao Yan and others!" Miki replied.

"Did they say something?" Zhao asked again.

"What else can I say, it's all good things like the prince's good governance of the army and the well-trained army in the river!" Miki said with a chuckle.

"Hmm!" Zhao Ta stood up and paced in the tent, seeing that the prince was in trouble, but what was there to make it difficult for these people to go to the army to condole? He couldn't figure it out.

"Chu prisoner?!" Zhao Tan muttered to himself while turning, two days ago he received a letter from his mother, and there was only one poem in the Tang Dynasty Zhao Yi's "Chang'an Autumn Wang": The clouds are bleak and the dawn is blowing, and the Han family palace is moving in high autumn. The remnant star is a few geese crossed, and the flute is leaning against the building. Ziyan half-opened fence chrysanthemum quiet, red clothes fall all Zhu Lian sorrow. The perch is beautiful and does not return, and the empty Dai Nanguan learns Chu prisoner.

Zhao Ta held the letter and read it several times, and even soaked the letter in the fire to find something from it, but he was disappointed. He calmed down and read it a few more times, his mother must have used this poem to imply something to himself, but Zhao Ta was secretly bitter, his mother thought that he had plagiarized a few poems and regarded him as everyone, but in fact, it was a half bottle of vinegar, and after several analyses, he focused on the word 'Chu prisoner'.

"Could it be that my mother is trying to prevent me from returning to Beijing?" Zhao Tan pondered. The emperor even issued several holy decrees asking him to go to his post as soon as possible, and anyone who has a heart can see it. The emperor is obviously thirsty for talent, but in fact, he has put himself under house arrest in disguise. lest he form a separatist force that can confront him and threaten his throne. Zheng Hongmei's intelligence and experience in political struggle will not be unclear, and Chu prisoner in modern times means prisoner, meaning a person who is in an embarrassed situation and has nothing to do.

"But what does the goose returning to the south and the chrysanthemum of the east fence mean in the poem?" These two sentences also seem to give people a hint that Zhao Ta knows that since he chose this poem, he must have a deep meaning, but Zhao Ta's level is really incomprehensible.

"See, you go and find Xu Hong secretly, I have something to discuss with him!" Zhao Ta decided to invite a cultural person to help him take a closer look, Xu Hong has been running in for so many years. It can be said that he is a die-hard fan, and it doesn't hurt to have some heartfelt words to say to him.

"Yes, Second Master!" Seeing that Xi agreed, he went out.

Zhao Ta sat down and took a sip of tea, he was actually very conflicted in his heart at this time. The big brother in front of him has already dug it, just waiting for him to go back, knowing that it is a pit that jumps in by himself, isn't it a bit two! The example of Yue Wumu was placed there, although Yue Fei should have been a squad leader in Liu Ju's army according to history, maybe he was holding a spear and staring at himself at any time ready to eliminate traitors for the country!

Zhao Ta also thought of simply going it alone, and he had a good brother. There is an army that is absolutely loyal to him, but he also thought about when it would be unpopular to win the throne with bloodshed. Even after Li Shimin, who created the prosperous era of Zhenguan, killed his brother and forced the palace to seize the throne, he could use righteousness to kill his relatives. Zhou Gong punished Cai Lai to cover up, but it was difficult to hide his bad behavior. It made Li Shimin feel guilty for life, and he was condemned by his conscience from time to time. In his later years, he became brutal and murderous, and supported the weak and cowardly Li Zhi as emperor. I just want the fratricidal thing not to happen again, but it also leaves the evil consequences of the usurpation of the throne by the Empress Wu. Datang has experienced decades of turbulence, resulting in several successions of Datang will become bloody tragedies.

Now in the era when Confucianism occupies a dominant position in the Great Song Dynasty and scholars participate extensively in politics, if you want to raise the banner to rebel, you will be regarded as a rebel by the 'defenders' and will be abandoned. Therefore, even if the seizure of the throne is successful, it will not be possible to maintain the operation of the country without the help of the scholar class, and it will inevitably experience a bloody massacre, which will plunge the country into a more dangerous situation.

Whether it is being imprisoned or ruining the country, these are what Zhao Ta does not want to see. Now some of his subordinates are deeply resentful of the court's exclusion of themselves and unfair rewards and punishments, and although it has not yet reached the point of blatant disobedience, this undercurrent is surging and can erupt at any time, especially among the most loyal and loyal soldiers.

As long as these people are captured, almost all the high-level civil and military officials in Hedong will be wiped out, and the entire Hedong will be controlled, plus Hezhong and the named Xijing Road, they will have enough foundation, and the elite of the adjacent Shaanxi Road will lose all the elite in the Liao and anti-Jin, and they are not the opponents of the loyal and brave army at all. controlled Guanzhong, then the entire northwest of the Great Song Dynasty was under their control, and this was only waiting for a word from the prince.

Zhao Tan struggled and suffered in the wandering between left and right, which was more exhausting than fighting a big battle, at this time he hoped that someone would help him get an idea, but this kind of thing could not be taken out to say, he was worried that those loyal subordinates would take this as their own hint, so they did it rashly, then he really had no way back.

It just so happened that his mother brought such a letter to himself, no matter whether Zhao Ta admitted it or not, he hoped to find the answer in the confusion, and it can be said that this letter has already determined his next direction...

"Lord Wang, what's the matter with recruiting subordinates?" Xu Hong hurriedly walked into the big tent and asked.

"This king doesn't understand something, and I want to ask Mr. for advice!" Zhao Ta asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands and said.

"Lord Wang, please speak, your subordinates will do their best!" Xu Hong thanked and said.

"Sir, where does the 'Chu prisoner' come from and what is the explanation?" Zhao Ta looked at Xu Hong and asked.

"Oh, the word Chu prisoner comes from an allusion in "Zuo Chuan"!" Xu Hong was very puzzled, did the prince suddenly find himself just for such a trivial matter, although he was puzzled, but he still explained in detail, this matter was too simple for him who had been a jinshi.

"In the seventh year of the king of Chu, the king of the Communist Party raised troops to attack Zheng State, and Jin Jinggong sent troops to aid Zheng and defeated the Chu army. Chu official Zhong Yi was captured and imprisoned in the munitions depot, and he wore the hat of Chu every day and stood facing south, thinking of his motherland. Two years later, Jin Jinggong found him, asked him to play the piano, felt his loyalty, personally released him back to Chu, and asked him to contribute to the peace between the two countries. ”

"Well, I'd like to hear about it!" Zhao said.

"After the Marquis of Jin returned to the palace, he told Fan Wenzi about his encounter with Zhong Yi, and Wenzi said: Chu prisoner, gentleman also! Say the first position, do not recite the book; Le the local style, do not forget the old also; called the eldest son, or selfless; The name of the second secretary, the respect of the monarch; Don't carry the book, benevolence; Don't forget the old, believe also; selfless, loyal; Honorable Jun, Min Ya. Benevolence to accept things, faith to abide by it, loyalty to success, sensitivity to action, although the matter is great! Xu Hong said.

"Well, I see!" Zhao Ta pondered for a moment and said, there is a difference between this Chu prisoner and what he knows.

"But the prince has encountered something difficult to solve?" Xu Hong looked at the prince as if he had let go of a concern, and asked slowly.

"Sir, look!" Zhao Tan smiled and handed the letterhead written by his mother to Xu Hongdao.

"Is this the work of the Queen Mother?" Xu Hong took it and asked in surprise.

"Exactly!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, he already understood what his mother meant at this moment, which was to let himself return to Beijing and return to seclusion, so as to be a loyal, filial and faithful person.

"Alas, the Queen Mother is really a righteous person!" Xu Hong sighed, "It's difficult for the prince to stay here these days in violation of the edict, right?" ”

"Sir guessed, this is a matter of the future of the brothers and you of the loyal army, the net worth of this king, one wrong step is a catastrophe, I have to think carefully!" Zhao Ta smiled helplessly.

"Now the prince has a decision?" Xu Hong stroked his beard and looked at the prince and smiled.

"Huh!" Zhao Ta smiled and wrote a poem.

"Generous Geyan City, calmly be a prisoner of Chu. Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the boy's head! Xu Hong said, "The prince has decided to return to Beijing to be loyal and filial!" Xu Hong said.

"If the sky does not destroy me, I will live up to the world!" Zhao Ta said abruptly.

"Treat things with sincerity, and return things to the heart; If you use suspicion, you will go far away from hegemony! The prince is sincere for the world, and the great cause will be accomplished, but there is a drive, and his subordinates will never give up! Xu Hong kneeled down and kowtowed.

………

The general trend has been decided, Zhao Ta will join Li Gang and others to attend the Hezhong Army Celebration Conference, the venue has been arranged by the Guards Brigade at this moment, the black uniforms make the soldiers of the Guards Brigade with cold expressions not angry and arrogant, it is difficult to hide the heavy murderous aura on their bodies, and the skeletons dripping blood are even more impressive!

Outside the school field, the armies stood solemnly, except for the sound of the fluttering of the military flag, there was not a trace of noise, and everyone in Hedong couldn't help but relax their steps and shut their mouths, lest they disturb the evil gods on the field! Three cannons sounded, the whole army entered in turn, the military flag hunting, the sound of hooves, the sound of drums like thunder, the sound of the trumpet was terrible, this scene made people all blood boiling, the spirit was uplifted.

"Brothers..."Zhao Ta came out of the three words, he couldn't help but his eyes were red, and his voice was choked, the army in front of him started with fifty people, and he had fought for it for nearly twenty years and finally created such an elite division, but he was about to leave them, but he didn't know if Lu Dao could still have a chance to stand in front of them again, how could he not let him have mixed feelings.

"What are we fighting for today?" Zhao Qi asked loudly.

"Expel the gold thieves and protect the land and the people!" The armies roared in unison.

"Who are we fighting for?"

"Fight for the Great Song Dynasty, fight for the people!"

"How do we fight?"

"Serve the country loyally, die without regrets!" …

"Serve the country with loyalty!" The roars of tens of thousands of people were like rolling thunder, shocking, and Li Gang and others also shouted at the top of their voices, they suddenly felt that this was the real army, the real soldiers... (To be continued......)
